Taken in Washington on May 2, 1939, this portrait comes from the studio of Harris & Ewing, a firm that photographed many officials, legislators, and other figures in the capital. Its title ties the image to "administration propaganda" and a halt in some rise, which points to the political arguments of the late New Deal years, when federal messaging about the economy was heavily contested. Studio portraits like this were often sent to newspapers with a short caption, so the posed formality of the image and the wording of the title are worth reading together.
